Way back when (November 8th, 2007) before there was a thing called "direct messages", or "DMs", I received a message on MySpace from a guy I did not know. I was currently studying abroad in London. When I saw the guy was from New Orleans, I figured I must have known him from somewhere. The message stood out to me because he asked a very simple question, "Are you still in London?", and I quickly responded, "Yes, I am". When I realized that we didn't know each other and it was just a clever way for me to respond, I became intrigued to talk to this guy. For the next several weeks, we talked nonstop every night on average 5 to 6 hours. When we both realized that each conversation felt like 30 minutes, we knew that there was something else there. Once on winter break that semester, we finally met in person and hit it off. When I left for London again, we knew that we didn't want to be apart. I made a life changing decision to return home that spring break. Like the saying goes, the rest is history. We quickly built our lives together and knew that we had found our soulmate. After 11 years of growing together, we have finally decided to make our union official.
